  Shebayo

Shebayo (Saluaio[2]) is an extinct Arawakan language of Trinidad[3] and perhaps the Venezuelan coast, or in the Guianas according to Loukotka, who incorrectly classified it as Cariban.[4] It is only attested by a few words in a 1633 book by Joannes de Laet.[1] Aikhenvald (1999) classifies it with the Ta-Arawakan (Caribbean Arawakan) languages.[5]

The following is a compilation of all Shebayo vocabularies collected by Laet (1633),[1] de Goeje (1939)[6] and Taylor (1977).[2]
